Big Names In Action After Last Night’s SmackDown Live

Well at least someone knows he’s around. It’s been a rough month for United States Champion Jeff Hardy. You don’t remember him do you? He’s been the United States Champion for fifty days now and has wrestled four times on WWE TV since then. His record is 2-2 with his last two matches being losses to the Miz and Daniel Bryan. Neither of them seem interested in going after the title because they’re too busy with Money in the Bank. Hardy hasn’t wrestled on the last two SmackDown Lives, but at least he’s gotten to do something else, at least last night.

In case you forgot what Hardy was like, here he is in a good match.

Daniel Bryan vs. Jeff Hardy - Winner faces Samoa Joe next week: SmackDown LIVE, May 22, 2018

According to Wrestlinginc.com, last night’s post-SmackDown Live dark match say Hardy team up with Daniel Bryan to defeat The Miz and Big Cass in a tag team match. Bryan and Big Cass are still feuding with Big Cass cutting a promo on SmackDown Live insulting Bryan for being a smaller guy who can’t hang with a big guy like him. It seems that there was no pre-show dark match this week.

Check out last night’s results right here.

Opinion: I can’t wait for Money in the Bank to be done as it takes up so many stories that could be interesting otherwise. The United States Champion is a complete afterthought, which is a major issue when he was starting to get a major push right around the time he won the title. It’s nice that the fans are getting to see him but leaving him off TV with no mention or any form of a story is really annoying. Maybe they’ll throw him in for a token title defense at Money in the Bank but it would be nice to just have him get some actual attention for a change.

Who do you want to see challenge Hardy for the title? What’s next for Bryan after Big Cass? Let us know in the comments below.
